"You tell us to keep waiting, should we wait forevermore? We’ll march in the name of freedom, and pound upon your door!” As part of the No More Delays! campaign our activists created a song for it! An Original song by Éirígí - For A New Republic activist Jake Guerin.

Mickey sits down with Éirígí activist Eoin Ó Sé to remember his late father, Donal Ó Sé, an IRA veteran and a participant in the IRA's Border Campaign, codenamed 'Operation Harvest', which lasted from 1956 until 1962.

Mickey sits down with author, historian, republican and trade unionist, Fergus Whelan, to discuss the origins of Irish Republicanism, while also appraising those great Protestant men who were instrumental in its foundation.

Gearoid sits down with An Rúnaí Ginearálta Éirígí Mickey Moran, and Pól Ó Scanaill, Chairman of the 1916 Societies, to talk about the ongoing cooperation between Éirígí and the 1916 Societies, the origins of this relationship, the campaigns both organisations are working on together, including the new ‘No More Delays!’ campaign, along with discussing the need to build a new, vibrant and confident Republican Movement.

Gearoid sits down with Breandán Mac Cionnaith, a Portadown based Éirígí activist and spokesperson for the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition. Breandán was instrumental in putting a stop to Orange Order marches going through his area in the mid-1990s. In this episode, Breandán talks about the Orange Order as Ireland's first hate group, the Garvaghy Road community's fightback against the organisation marching through their area, and what the future holds for an organisation who's ideology has changed little since their foundation in 1795.
